Not a serious issue, obviously can be an issue. If you are so scared of transexuals I would just use a cubicle if I was you.

Changing rooms are obviously an issue but transexuals have always used other changing rooms, always will. I wouldn't say it was high on my list of serious issues. Sexual predators in male or female changing rooms is a bigger issue.

What Sam Smith is or isn't makes no difference to my life, neither has pronouns. If you think changing rooms, prisons and sports are serious issues you have your priorities all wrong.

New CEO, new DOF, new manager and probably a massive change in the players - I can't see us challenging for the title. It all does depend on how much the owners are willing to punt on it though.

Had a busy weekend so didn't see as much as I would have wanted. From what I watched Slash's performance was my highlight, Axl's voice is fucked but Slash more than made up for it. Cat Stephens singing Morning has Broken can fuck off, I don't get why anyone would pay £300 to stand there and watch that but each to their own. The crowd there nowadays just seems to be a mix of spoilt rich kids and soppy middle-aged wankers. Definitely prefer to watch it on the TV. I expect there are some other decent festivals out there that have taken over now.

But there have always been some right fairies in the LGBT community, that's not a new thing. Who cares what other people wear or want to call themselves, makes no difference to me. Says more about those who have an issue with it than the people themselves IMO. Maybe a lot of people think an over-weight middle aged man wearing a striped shirt with a teenagers name on the back is weird - each to their own

All the crap posted on here about pointless subjects like transsexuals or pronouns and stuff, yet you think it’s weird to discuss a genuinely serious issue. Just a bit odd that’s all.

Yeah much more important things to worry about, like chicks with dicks.

You are probably right. All I did, before I was piled on by the gammon crew, was pose a question about wether fiscal policy can help the fight against inflation in a fairer way. Interest rates don't exist in isolation. Maybe tax could be used to help dampen demand and lessen the pressure for higher interest rates. It just doesn't seem fair that hardworking young families will lose their homes while there is so much money sloshing about. I'm lucky enough to have a smallish amount left on my mortgage and am on a 5 year fixed which doesn't end for a few years so interest rates won't effect me in the slightest for a while. Some people are going to have their lives ruined while the Mrs will still to be going to Next to by loads of shit she doesn't even wear.

https://www.ft.com/content/0520b466-b21a-4ee8-ba3c-91cbe1b1c6fd From last year….‘The IMF said on Tuesday that Rishi Sunak should bring forward planned tax increases to limit the risk of persistently high inflation, even though it would tighten the financial squeeze on Britain’s households. In its annual assessment of the UK economy, the fund said the chancellor should spare poorer households and impose higher income and wealth taxes on richer people. The IMF’s view is that wages and spending will not be squeezed as much as the Bank of England thinks, so there is a sizeable risk inflation stays too high for too long. With inflation forecast to rise to 7 per cent in the coming months, the IMF warned that without higher taxes, the BoE would be forced to raise interest rates significantly, with a serious risk of tipping the economy into recession next year.’

They keep raising interest rates yet here we are with high inflation. Just doesn't seem right that hardworking young people are going to end up with their homes repossessed, when richer, older people with little or no mortgage are going to just carry on splashing the cash. There must be a less crude way of taking money out of people's pockets.

Would be more targeted than interest rates.

If they want to calm down spending surely the best thing to do would be to tax the well off rather than just hike interest rates? Interest rate rises just fuck everyone over and I'm sure those worst hit will not be the ones spending most at the moment anyway so there will be a negligible effect on inflation.

To be fair there is a link between the religion and the country. I used to work for a Jewish family business in North London, I was young at the time and knew precious little (or had any interest) about he situation in Israel but remember the boss telling me how he would happily go out there and fight for the country if he was ever needed. He is as English as you or me, born and bred in London yet he still saw it as his duty.

True. I'm not sure anyone on here has criticised all Jewish people.

I don't have huge expectations but he did get Swansea a few points from the play-offs and they seem to be in a world of shit finance wise. In theory his possession style should work much better with higher quality players (I know all styles should but it may just click with a more skilled team).

There is the obvious link between the jewish religion and Israel though, it is s grey area. Especially as criticising or being anti-Israel can get one labelled as anti-semitic.

Fuck me. Relegation hits home when you see that list of shite.

A million times better than last season's disaster IMO. At least we will look like Southampton again.

So it was a combined effort of the WHO and all the governments around the world to conspire to make a few billionaires richer. Brilliant. Glad we cleared that one up. Couldn’t possibly have been some businessmen seeing an opportunity and profiteering at everyone’s expense, that could never happen.

Why do you say that?

You seriously think that was the reason and they knew all along that virus was harmless? Governments all around the world just had to lockdown because everyone was desperate to stay indoors and wreck the economy. 😂😂😂😂😂

That still doesn’t answer the question. If the government knew there was no risk why lockdown?

An exercise of control. 😂

You still haven’t answered the question. What would any government have to gain from enforcing lockdowns that they knew were not necessary?
